Sheldon Clark was truly a good team last year. However, they seemed to not have that one true athelete to make the team great. Several players contributed overal and that made for a well balanced team. However, they need that one game changer. With so much talent lost to graduation I dont see that talent next year either.

Bulldog fan:
I agree with your first comment but think that you may be counting them short for the 2010 season. I truly believe they will be as good as last year, and possibly somewhat better.

I hear from very reliable source that a good number of the guys are working extremely hard, and have been since the last game in 2009. But I am also aware that what counts is how they perform in 2010.

Sure, they have lost valuable seniors but that is true for most teams. SC, however, has some talented returnees. They have some guys that can step up and fill the gaps created by graduation.

I am not going to mention names, for I may leave out someone that will be a surprise and contribute much more than is expected.

Moreover, I have also heard that there is more interest this year, probably due to a successful 2009; a few "new" people are coming out for the team.
I am not talking about incoming freshmen.

Lastly, I am not completely sure about the "true athlete;" however, one of the returnees might just fill that bill, for some are working very hard to improve themselves. Desire and hard work will do wonders!

Obviously I am a SC fan, and just maybe I have let my optimism override my view of the team. But, bottom line, I feel SC will do well in 2010.
